Connoisseurs of architecture (Vienna) and contemporary art (Graz), who want to plunge into the purest lakes and hot mineral springs (Carinthia), go to Austria. And connoisseurs of interesting water bodies will be invited to visit the waterfalls of Austria.
Krimml waterfalls
They include three cascades with a total height of 380 m (formed by the Krimler-Akhe river). Travelers, moving along a well-groomed path, will reach the observation deck, from where, thanks to the special illumination, you can admire the waterfalls even when dusk falls on the ground. The most comfortable for tourists is the first level - here you can buy souvenirs and have a snack. As for the third level, it is waiting for those who are interested in picturesque untouched nature.
Gastein
It is a three-level waterfall, the stream of which falls from a height of 340 m. It is easy to breathe near the Gastein waterfall, since there are negative ions in the air (useful for allergy sufferers and those with respiratory problems). Tourists should find a former power plant nearby - a historical museum operates within its walls.
Kesselfalklamm
Numerous narrow paths lead to this 30-meter waterfall (it is surrounded by dense woodland - ivy and ferns grow here), but you cannot get to it by car due to the presence of a considerable number of ravines. Hikers should be careful as they can fall on steep slopes. You can approach the foot of Kesselfalklamm by wooden steps (the route to the top also goes along them), and above it you can find a bridge. There is a grotto nearby - inside it you can admire stalactites and stalagmites.
Stubenfall
8000 years ago, when glaciers were actively retreating, a unique natural phenomenon in the form of a 160-meter waterfall formed in Tyrol. A path leads to it, the path along which will be accompanied by a meeting with picturesque landscapes (locals will gladly tell the legend of the Stubenfall waterfall). In the vicinity you can find an archaeological park, the exposition of which is devoted to the life and life of people of the Neolithic period.
Gollinger
The 75-meter waterfall and its surroundings are a favorite place for romantic vacationers and landscape painters. To get here, you need to overcome a path winding through a dense forest.
Wildenstein
Not every tourist will be able to climb to this waterfall (considered the highest free fall waterfall in Europe), since the ascent is carried out along a steep serpentine (the higher, the harder it is to go, and the air becomes wetter). But having overcome the way up, they will be able to take a breath and admire the views of Wildenstein Falls (it owes its name to the castle, which was located a little higher - it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1348), stopping on the platform.
